Question 1

Are you really French?

Accepted Answer

Well, if you take a look at our names, they’re probably as French as you can get! Thibault is from Brittany and Renaud is from the Loire Valley, with accents that are très strong — especially for those who’ve met Thibault at the markets!

We used to be 100% involved in the day-to-day operations, and we know people miss us. But we’ve now built an amazing team (few of them speak French, though it’s not a requirement). We appreciate everyone being understanding and kind with our teammates — they’re the heart of our bakery!

Question 2

When is The French Guys Bakery closed?

Accepted Answer

Thanksgiving Day: November 27thChristmas Day: December 25th

Question 3

Why is the menu different between the farmers market and stores?

Accepted Answer

There are a few reasons for that. For one, we don’t have a fridge at the markets, so we can’t offer savory items or desserts. Our selection is also smaller compared to what we have at the bakery, usually around 15 to 20 items.

However, these are typically our core offerings and best sellers, so you’re getting the best of what we make!

Question 4

Where does your flour come from?

Accepted Answer

We’ve been working with Cairnspring Mills in Burlington, WA, since day one. Their flour is incredible — no preservatives, just high-quality ingredients for making great bread.We also use Label Rouge's French T65 traditional flour for our baguettes, grain, and rosemary loaf and some French T45 Gruau flour for our laminated dough to bring an authentic French touch. The mill we source our flour is called Foricher Les Moulins, which is one of our French Guys' hometown.

Question 5

Do you have an allergen list?

Accepted Answer

Yes, see our complete allergen list here!

Question 6

Do you have gluten-free products?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for asking! Our expertise lies in traditional French baking, which naturally contains gluten. We focus on crafting authentic French pastries with the finest ingredients and techniques.

While we don’t offer gluten-free options, we’d be happy to recommend other bakeries in Seattle that specialize in gluten-free treats!

Question 7

Do you deliver?

Accepted Answer

Sadly, we’ve stopped the door-to-door delivery service that we offered at the beginning of our journey. But guess what? We’re working on an exciting new CSA Program linked to our farmers markets during the slow season.

Who wouldn’t want fresh croissants, bread, and more delivered directly to their door? Stay tuned for more details here!

Question 8

Do you do custom orders or desserts?

Accepted Answer

Our model is a bit different from most traditional bakeries. We operate with a central production hub and everything is delivered while you're still dreaming and enjoying your morning rest. Because of this, we're unable to bake something special on the spot or offer custom orders.

But here's the good news! We do have a set dessert menu for special events, and you can place orders for those with 72 hours notice at our storefront. We’re happy to help make your events a little sweeter!

Question 9

Do you offer catering or wholesale?

Accepted Answer

Yes! See here for our full catering/wholesale menu and contact thefrenchguysllc@gmail.com with any inquiries.

Question 10

Do you have gift cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can purchase gift cards here!

Gift cards are available both online and at the store, but please note that they cannot be used at farmers markets. We hope you find the perfect treat with them!

Question 11

Do you have merchandise?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our merchandise is available at our storefront. We offer a mix of T-shirts, hats, tea, coffee, stickers, mugs, and more.We have big plans to expand our merchandise section and bring even more exciting options to our customers. You can find our merch at our cafes.

Question 12

What are your sustainability practices?

Accepted Answer

Of course, we’re big on minimizing waste. Every day, all our unsold items from the markets and storefront are brought back to our production facility to be distributed to the team and reused in some of our recipes, such as the almond croissants. They are reused with our croissants and pain aux chocolats. Our market team also trades leftover bread with other vendors. After a summer market shift, what’s better than receiving some fresh flowers or juicy tomatoes in exchange?Additionally, our store team enjoys free meals during their shift, as we believe in keeping them well-fed while they work hard to bring the taste of France to our customers!
